< Exodus 2 >

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi.
Бяше же некто от племене Левиина, иже поя от дщерей Левииных, и имяше ю:
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw him that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.
и зача во чреве и роди мужеский пол. Видевше же его лепа, крыша его три месяцы:
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
и понеже не можаху его ктому крыти, взя ему мати его ковчежец ситовый и помаза и клеем и смолою, и вложи отроча в него, и положи его в лучице при реце:
4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
и наблюдаше сестра его издалеча, да уведает, что будет ему.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
Сниде же дщерь фараонова измытися на реку, и рабыни ея прохождаху при реце. И видевши ковчежец в лучице, пославши рабыню, взя и.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
Отверзши же, видит отроча плачущееся в ковчежце, и пощаде е дщерь фараоня, и рече: от детей Еврейских сие.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
И рече сестра его дщери фараонове: хощеши ли, призову ти жену кормилицу от Еврей, и воздоит ти отроча?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
И рече ей дщерь фараонова: иди. Шедши же отроковица, призва матерь отрочате.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed him.
Рече же к ней дщерь фараонова: соблюди ми отроча сие и воздой ми е: аз же дам ти мзду. Взя же отроча жена и дояше е.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Возмужавшу же отрочати, введе е ко дщери фараонове, и бысть ей в сына, и нарече имя ему Моисей, глаголющи: от воды взях его.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Бысть же во дни многия оны, велик быв Моисей, изыде к братиям своим, сыном Израилевым. Разумев же болезнь их, виде человека Египтянина биюща некоего Евреанина от братии его сынов Израилевых.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Обозревся же семо и овамо, ни когоже виде: и поразив Египтянина, скры его в песце.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smitest thou thy companion?
Изшед же во вторый день, виде два мужа Евреанина биющася и глагола обидящему: чесо ради ты биеши искренняго?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Он же рече: кто тя постави князя и судию над нами? Еда убити мя ты хощеши, имже образом убил еси вчера Египтянина? Убояся же Моисей и рече: аще сице явлен бысть глагол сей?
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Услыша же фараон глагол сей и искаше убити Моисеа. Отиде же Моисей от лица фараонова и вселися в земли Мадиамстей: пришед же в землю Мадиамскую седе при кладязе.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Священнику же Мадиамскому беша седмь дщерей, пасущих овцы отца своего Иофора: пришедшя же черпаху, дондеже наполниша корыта, напоити овцы отца своего Иофора.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Пришедше же пастырие изгнаша я. Востав же Моисей избави их, и налия им и напои овцы их.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
Приидоша же к Рагуилу отцу своему. Он же рече им: что яко ускористе приити днесь?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
Оныя же рекоша: человек Египтянин избави нас от пастырей, и начерпа нам и напои овцы нашя.
20 And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
Он же рече дщерем своим: и где есть? И вскую сице остависте человека? Призовите убо его, да яст хлеб.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Вселися же Моисей у человека: и даде Сепфору дщерь свою Моисею в жену.
22 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
Во чреве же заченши жена роди сына, и нарече Моисей имя ему Гирсам, глаголя: яко пришлец есмь в земли чуждей. Еще же заченши роди сына втораго, и нарече имя ему Елиезер, глаголя: Бог бо отца моего помощник мой и избави мя из руки фараоновы.
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God by reason of the bondage.
По днех же многих тех, умре царь Египетский, и возстенаша сынове Израилевы от дел и возопиша, и взыде вопль их к Богу от дел.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
И услыша Бог стенание их: и помяну Бог завет Свой иже ко Аврааму и Исааку и Иакову,
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took notice of them.
и призре Бог на сыны Израилевы, и познан бысть ими.
